Perched 800 metres above sea level between Kitzbüheler Horn and Hahnenkamm, the Kitzbühel region is superbly positioned for snow accumulation, and snow is guaranteed even in the valley from December until April. Because the ground is grassy to a height of 2000 metres unlike other skiing regions, where the ground is mostly rock even quite small snowfalls are sufficient to provide the conditions for long periods of carefree winter sports activities. 168 kilometres of perfectly maintained pistes, 8 kilometres of marked ski trails at all levels of difficulty, action-packed snowboard fun parks, natural toboggan runs, as well as hundreds of kilometres of cross-country skiing trails and winter hiking trails are just some of the attractions that make this skiing region the ultimate winter sports paradise of the Alps, stretching over seven municipal districts and two provinces.
